ClrMamePro (a ROM auditing tool) was updated yesterday. The new rename wizard was the focus of the update.

Here's the complete changelog for ClrMamePro 3.131:
  • changed analysis to 5-pass
    • 1) unique set hash
    • 2) single unique rom hash match
    • 3) single unique chd hash match
    • 4) description match
    • 5) setname match
  • detecting removed, added and replaced sets
  • new layout, list control, sortable columns
  • acess via Profiler Button
  • keeping positions and options
  • added option for enable/disable parent rename
  • added option for enable/disable rename to multiple new name
  • detecting new, removed and replaced sets
  • export to clipboard, file and file (mamediff format)
  • diff button only reparses files if needed
  • ability to apply renames to a 3rd datfile (e.g. an artwork datfile)
    • You can select 'apply on sets' or 'apply on roms' method
    • 'Apply On Sets' renames set name (description, year, manufacturer, romof, cloneof, sourcefile tags optionally), while 'Apply on Roms' renames rom name, rom merge tags. In case of roms, it checks the names with and without extensions, so you can easily have them as e.g. *.png
    • This 'Apply' option will only do the renames. Removed, added, replaced sets are not handled
    • Usage example:
      • Enter paths to a MAME .133 datfile as old and MAME .133u3 datfile as new
      • Hit 'diff' and see what the renames......now load a MAME flyersdatfile for .133 as 'Modify DatFile'. Enable 'Apply On Roms' and hit 'Apply Renames'. It will create you a *_new.dat with the updated roms
